Subject: disable font color change in region
Date: Fri, 10 Oct 2014 13:42:32 -0700 (PDT)	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <8abf26dc-77a6-4efd-9660-b7cde9b71e65@googlegroups.com> (raw)

How can I direct emacs *not* to change the color of the *text* in a selected region? (It's okay to change the background color.)

I did a recent installation of Ubuntu 14.04. The new emacs version changes the color of the text in a region to white to accompany the background color change. I don't like this behavior and would like to revert to the previous behavior, which was to change the background color only and leave the text color alone.

The jpg image at https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B4BAQmmnJQ4HU1hCUUtGb3ZHdTQ shows what I mean much better than I can describe it. The emacs session on the left is the old behavior (where the colors of "selected" text remain unchanged). The emacs window on the right (partially hidden) shows that the the selected text has been changed to white. That's what I don't like and would like to disable.

Does anyone know how to do that? Thanks.
